Who do you think will be the next PM if Boris Johnson resigns?

[Poetrypatty]

I read that Priti Patel is going to put her name forward the horror. Also Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak are contenders.

It'll be Gove or Sunak

But I don't think they're anywhere near close to toppling Boris

That is the most ridiculous claim day but you honestly think Jeremy Corbyn would have coped with a crisis of this magnitude then you are truly deluded. He is own brother is being arrested and is a very public anti vaxxer ffs. I sometimes worry people actually believe this kind of BS.

The public despise Gove and his coke riddled mid life crisis and Rishi has no backbone whatsoever and looks even more out of touch than Boris.

In the future when Boris has retired Liz Truss will be the one to watch, she has a lot of support in the party, and will be wonderful option as she is supportive of women and families.

I agree. Rory Stewart was the only decent one. Sooner we get rid of the whole cabinet the better

I read this as Rod Stewart. Maybe he’d be quite good!

I think Rishi Sunak.

Gove the Grim.

If only Labour,Lib Dem and Greens would work together,like in Germany,the Tories would have been toast a long time ago.Apparently in the last election, it was the older,non working population that voted for this clown predominantly and young racists.

Said as a true remainer of the weasel Rory bloody Stewart that has literally disappeared into the abyss.

Priti Patel? 😱

Oh god, we'll all end up in jail or deported 😬

I suspect it will be Sunak, none of the others are popular enough with the voters. Unless the strategy is to have a sacrificial one before the next election, followed by a new leader 3-6 months before they call an election.

Do you actually believe the BS you write? At least one union has cut funding to the Labour party for a start. Honestly, trying to make out KS is some kind of hard left nutter - just embarrassing.

And, while I'm no JC fan, what has it got to do with it what his brother has done? I'm sure you claim that BJ's private life/how many kids he has etc has no impact on his ability to be PM so what on earth has JC's brother's actions got to do with anything?

What a horrific selection. How can people trust any of these slime balls?

Enid I agree Tom Tugendhat would get my vote

You can not have a PM that has a brother out on the streets trying to stop other people having vaccines. It would undermine the whole programme and creditability.

JC was well past his sell by date, KS is the most robotic, sleazy and uncharismatic leader Labour have ever had. I think Boris looks like a good bet when you line up the true alternatives. Labour has done a good job of hiding its current infighting, but they are imploding quietly on the sidelines, or are you not as informed as you think coffee

The conservatives have their issues but they are not beholden to the unions that are largely responsible for the dreadful way our children have been treated during this pandemic!
They are also very happy to encourage University lecturers to strike even knowing how much students have already been through during repeated lockdowns. It is a fucking disgrace.

Stewart pops up on the radio talking sense quite a bit actually. And not sure why you've done the Remainer dig - he rose to prominence saying how good TM's deal was, despite knowing it was shit compared to staying in. He was the loyal one sent out to defend it so Remainers like me, despite knowing he is better than the majority of them, aren't all that keen.

The reason why Boris will ride this out, and he will trust me, is because we don't actually have any kind of credible opposition party!

Until Labour pull themselves together, and get a leader with concrete and ambitious policies and one that is capable of selling a better and more prosperous future to the electorate, a convincing plan for real future improvement until that happens the Conservatives will continue to win every single election from now until eternity regardless of who is in charge. They could put forward Dylan the dog and still win.

No one is ever going to vote for Labour as it stands today and not even by the next election, so the best thing the left can now hope for is to blow up the conservatives from the inside out, and try and get rid of Boris that way with the help of the BBC and sky and all the others trying to chase him out with endless bad publicity and witch hunts, but they won't succeed because we can all see through it. Boris ain't going anywhere folks.

Your top two lines here are absolutely hilarious, given the circumstances! Did you type that in all seriousness or are you really secretly anti-Tory? Classic

I don't think I'm massively informed about internal LP matters, but I'm well aware if the infighting and those on the left who'd like to see KS fail. I think his recent reshuffle was a great one and will have strengthened his position. Happy to be corrected if you know more than I do though.

I'm a teacher, parent and member of the NEU and I agree with you that children have been treated appallingly throughout, not by the unions though. Last year the NEU and LAbour suggested measures that would have made schools safer and therefore less likely to close, but these were ignored. NOTHING has been done to support schools - absences are high among staff and students, mask wearing is not in place apart from corridors, vaccines half done, no money for ventilation, last year's exam fiasco - I could go on. Tutoring programme a mess. Every time I think about it I get so angry but people don't seem to care - as long as schools are open everything must be fine?!

Sorry for derail, OP. I think he will be forced out at some point but maybe not now. Sunak obviously wants it but I think he may bide his time as there's still too much shit around Covid and Brexit so he may wait.

If you are a teacher then you have funded directly what the unions did to our children. They made it impossible for schools to reopen in the summer of 2020, and are permanently screaming for the schools to close. You may be in denial about the part you played in the damage to our children, but I am not. Most parents will never forgive or forget what happened. We lost two children to suicide, and it was one of the bleakest periods of our lives. So please do not even go there with talking to me about how the schools have failed our children.

@coffeerevelsrock don't feed the troll, it has absolutely no credibility anyway because it implicitly excuses that dangerous tw*t Williamson

Probably Sunak, possibly Gove with Truss as the outsider that could surprise us all.

Patel won't get far.

We lost two children to suicide, and it was one of the bleakest periods of our lives.

To lose one child to suicide would be the bleakest period in most people's lives, so how you have coped with losing two I can't imagine. And did they take their own lives on school premises, or was it more that the school was shown to be liable? Your family must be absolutely devastated, my sincere condolences.

Whoever it is, providence help us all.

Are these names really the finest the nation can offer? Mind boggling.

@Fairylights25 - I am so so very sorry
